Algebraic Expressions Lesson Notes
What is an algebraic expressions?
An algebraic expression is a combination of integer constants,
variables, exponents and algebraic operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division. 5x, x + y, x-3
and more are examples of algebraic expression. ... A variable is
a letter used to represent an
unknown value.
There are a variety of ways to write an algebraic expression to
represent a given situation in
mathematics. Let’s take a look at an example.
Alvin wants to take his two sons to the carnival that’s in town
this weekend.
Admission for each adult is $7 and children pay $5 to get
in.
All rides cost $2 no matter your age.
Help Alvin to write an expression he can use to figure out his
total cost once the kids
decide how many rides they want to get on. Let “r” represent
number of rides.
Expression #1: $7 + $5(2) + $2r
Expression #2: $7 + $10 + $2r
Expression #3: $17 + 2r
You Try It
It is school supply time and Marie is almost finished with her
supply list. The only items
left to get are ink pens and notebook paper. So she notices that
one teacher like for
students to write on wide-rule paper and the other wants
college-rule paper. They both
want her to have four packs of paper each. The wide rule is on
sale for $.75 and the
college rule cost $1.25. Marie has $10 remaining to spend. Help
her to write an
expression to figure out how much she has to spend on the ink
pens.
First Expression:
Equivalent Expression:
Stretch Your Thinking: How much can Marie spend on her ink
pens?
Here are three examples of ways you represent this situation
mathematically.
All expression are correct because they are equivalent.

the taxi. Evan then travels m miles more
in the taxi before reaching her home. Which statement is true
about the amount Eva pays for the taxi?
a. Eva pays 1.20 (m – d) + 2.60 dollars, which is equivalent to
1.20m - 1.20d + 2.60.
b. Eva pays 1.20(m + d) + 2.60 dollars, which is equivalent to
1.20m + 1.20d + 2.60.

Lesson Notes
When applying order of operations with numerical expressions the
acronym PEMDAS often
comes to mind. You many know it as “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt
Sally.”
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication (from left to right)
Division (from left to right)
Addition (from left to right)
Subtraction (from left to right)
So, what does order of operations look like when there is an
unknown, a variable? This now
makes it an algebraic expression or equation. There is not an
acronym but you can refer to
some steps to organization your thought process that will allow
you to work through the
mathematical situation.
Parenthesis – this could be the distributive property
Exponents – evaluate all powers
Addition / Subtraction – isolate your variable using inverse
operations
Multiplication / Division – isolate your variable using inverse
operations
NOTE: All steps are with the understanding, if applicable. Not
all equations will have every
element of this process. Also, this provides a basic process. As
the mathematical situations
grow in complexity so will your process. For example, you may be
required to combine like terms
multiple times when solving an equation.

Let’s Take a Look
Christopher is making a bookshelf. Each shelf needs to be 3 ½
feet long. Each side of the
bookshelf needs to be 5 ½ feet tall. He has a 25-foot board that
will be exactly enough wood if
he cuts precisely. How many shelves will be on the
bookshelf?
Let x represent our unknown which is the number of bookshelves.
The following equations
represents our mathematical situation.
2 (5 ½) + 3 ½ x = 25
Let’s use the steps above to solve the equation.
Equation Explanation
